This study uses whole genome sequencing to show that bacteria from Stomoxys flies and manure are phylogenetically intermixed, suggesting flies carry fecal pathogens that contribute to bovine mastitis.

This study compares antimicrobial resistance profiles in bacterial isolates from stable flies and bovine manure, identifying resistance genes and plasmids associated with clinically relevant taxa.

The paper identifies the genetic requirements for psoralen-interstrand crosslink resistance in E. coli, showing that inactivation of AcrR and activation of MarA/SoxS/Rob are necessary.
